Imagine if there is a local methhead in your area and wants to steal your copper pipes for meth. Your desire for intact piping is a firecracker in terms of being happy next to his atomic weapon level enjoyment of meth.

Do you therefore let the methhead steal your copper pipes?

We all know that "might is right" is the only true philosophy that's ruling life, anything else is philosophical copium.

Ah, my dear, you've gotten something fundamentally wrong here. You're assuming that each human's emotions have equal inherent value, which is incorrect. A meth head's "joy" should automatically have like a 0.25x multiplier attached to it when compared to an upstanding member of society such as myself (and no doubt the rest of the fine gentlemen and ladies in this thread).


What's the difference?
